Whereas J. Harvey Carter, a disabled Confederate soldier of Company
KE, forty-second Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant soldier during
the civil war; was loyal to Virginia and the Confederate cause; and

Whereas he is now suffering ‘from the followi ing disabilities:

A trepanned skull and general disability resulting from three wounds
received on the heights of Gettysburg, and eight other wounds received
in battle; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the cor-
poration court of the city of Roanoke shall examine into the condition
of the above-named J. Harvey Carter, a Confederate soldier; and should
it be true that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war and that
he is now afflicted and incapacitated from manual labor, by reason of

said wounds, and that he is needy and poor and should receive aid from

Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed to place the
name of J. Harvey Carter on the pension list, and pay him annually
the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day of April, eighteen
hundred and ninety-eight.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
